Mar 13, 2008 Pours a very dark amber color with a foamy off-white head. Very sour fruity aroma with hints of oak and vanilla. Intensely tart and acidic with a nice amount of sour cherry as well as oak and vanilla. Very sour with a puckering dry finish.

Mar 10, 2008 Bottle at Atlantic City Beerfest. Wow is this some super sour stuff. Flavor is intensely sour and definitely not for everyone. Either you will love it or hate it. Mark me down under the I love it catagory.

Mar 8, 2008 Very drinkable, and I appreciate the lighter alcohol content. Dark amber pour and generous and lasting tan head. Nice aromas of sour cherries and vanilla oaky earthiness. Mouth-puckeringly dry, almost vinegary (but in a good way) finish. This is quite tasty.

Mar 7, 2008 330 ml bottle [from Marcus] (BB 24/08/08). Impressive aromas of cherry, oak, malt and likely other fruits. Sort of a ruby mahogany color with a tan head that ringed rapidly. Vinous, tart/sour (almost cooking) cherry, with vanilla, and fruit with an oak astringency tagging along. Near full bodied with creamy carbonation. There is a strong wood character to go with the cherry. The tart/malt balance very well in the finish. Much more flavorful than the classic. It’s really a very tasty ale.

Mar 6, 2008 750ml bottle with a 9-21-2007 drink by date. Clear mahogany color with a fleeting head. Fruity sweet tart smell of cherries pears vinegar with some oak, vanilla and caramel. Mouth puckering flavors of pickled cherries pears oak and smooth vaniila waltz across my tongue leaving me with an insatiable desire for more of this nectar of the gods. But alas, there is hope as i glance gleefully to the cellar at those three sibling 750 bottles resting peacefully, patiently awaiting their day in the sun.... ;-)

Mar 3, 2008 dark red with medium head. fruity nose: cherries and peaches. very sour taste with some spice behind it. pepper and clove. cherry, sour apple, vinegary. this was a lot to take at first but grew on me. I’d had similar beers while traveling in europe, but this is the first I’ve rated. need to explore the type more. (K: 7)

Feb 29, 2008 On tap. Deep garnet colored with nice thick head. Nose is somewhat harsh, chemically sour, notes of epoxy with cherry aromas building as it warms and sweet tobacco coming through at the very end. Flavor is tart and acidic. Grape soda, sour cherries, malt vinegar. Quite a dry finish with some sweetness remaining on the palate. Very enjoyable.
